While replying in an other post, I just realized we all have different ways to rank songs. Some do it with their guts, some are comparing them, one vs one and so on.
So the question is : how do you rank all the entries to make a top ?
copy/paste what I wrote in an other post that made me create this one
I always do two rankings :
1) What I thought the very first time.
2) What I think after having all the entries, comparing them, listening to them multiple times. (and it's the one I share here with you all in the ranking game etc)
Every single year my first ranking is always closer in its results to the real final.
For sure there are Growers/Faders : in the last 6 months I listened to Fuego multiple times and only one listen for Toy.
But I still remember the first time I heard Toy and it made an impact and I think that's why it won.
I also make a new ranking based on the 2) once we can see the performances, like who enhanced the song and who did not and I'm basing my votes during the grand final on that, so sometimes I'm surprising myself giving votes to my 3rd or 7th for example and not my 1st or 2nd cause I felt the staging was not up to par. It's very rare though but I happened one or two times. Or giving votes to somebody outside my top 10 just because they gave a good show (Moldova 2018 is an example)
